Ten LGBT-Friendly Jewelry Stores for Engagement Rings

If you’re thinking of proposing to your girlfriend tomorrow or even a few years from now, it’s so important your money goes to the right place, especially given Donald Trump’s presidency. LGBT and LGBT-friendly businesses need all the support they can muster.

Our list covers mostly online retailers to be more inclusive and mindful of those who might have to travel far distances to reach an LGBT-friendly establishment. We’ve also divided up the findings into price points, so people on a budget and those with a little extra cash to spare are both covered.

Happy shopping and here’s to LOVE WINNING!

1. LYON Fine Jewelry

Owned by lesbian and Girl On Girl star Lauren Bedford Russell, LYON Fine Jewelry offers a wide range of high-quality and eclectic pieces. Russell’s line is the perfect place to start if your lady love prefers edgier designs.

2. Sparkles Fine Jewelry

This Chicago-based store, owned by Rachel Meyering, is fiercely committed to serving LGBT couples. Numerous reviews on Yelp laud the establishment as a “local gem” and for being a “strong supporter” of the gay community.

“You need to make people feel extremely comfortable. They’re nervous. I’ve heard horror stories about the way gay couples have been treated. In my store, I make sure everyone is treated fairly. Everybody should be able to love whoever they want to. It’s just love.”

3. Krikawa Jewelry Designs

After a Krikawa engagement ring was featured in the 2014 “Gay Weddings” edition of Knot Magazine, the Tuscon-based retailer took off with members of the LGBT community. The site features a wide breadth of creative style categories, like “Futuristic” and “Science Geek”.
